That's the low end, so look for a reason it's on the low end. Look for a discoloration on the receiver from welding, especially easy to see on the left side. Look at the gas port for cracking around the piston nut of the barrel. Look for a cracked trigger lug on the rear. All that is easy to check once its out of the stock.

Also look at the stock for extraneous stamps from a rebuild process wherein they would add U, RA-P, P, circle P, CSAA, RSAA, BA, OG MR, etc. somewhere to the stock. Bavarian held stocks will have about 4 digits stamped in the left side cut out which matched the last four of the serial number of the action that was in the stock. That renders it less valuable.

Sometimes there's just a good price on the Carbine and you get a good deal. TO some people six hundred is still a lot of money when you can buy a lever action 336 or Savage bolt action for 350 retail.
